I liked this alot!! Super fun to read! Would’ve been 5 stars if you could see Nolan and Mallory together more at the end, and also to read the match between them. More scenes together after they talked at the end.

I loved it more than the adult ali Hazelwood books. It def felt out of touch but it still felt nice to read and was pretty engaging.

"Sometimes I'm scared that I imagined you. Sometimes I think you're only in my head"

made chess interesting in the same way challengers made tennis interesting.

this was such a good young adult book, i need 100 more. ali hazelwood you have never failed me.
